Political Positions
Economy & Taxes
Cisco Aguilar’s public record emphasizes making Nevada more business-friendly by modernizing business licensing, reducing wait times and system outages, and improving the state’s business filings systems. He has also backed a business court proposal and said it would help create better jobs, a stronger economy, and more capital opportunities for small businesses. His publicly documented positions do not show a clear, specific stance on taxes.
Healthcare
Aguilar has not articulated a detailed healthcare policy platform in the sources reviewed. He has described health care as a major community priority, and in 2025 he backed a bill that would let candidates and elected officials use campaign funds for child care, elder care, and health insurance premiums when those costs are tied to public service.

Immigration & Border
Cisco Aguilar has spoken positively about immigrants and Latino communities and rejected anti-immigrant rhetoric that frames Spanish speakers as noncitizens. He has also opposed deploying ICE or other immigration-enforcement activity in ways that could intimidate voters, but there is little direct evidence of a broader immigration or border-policy agenda.
Abortion & Reproductive Rights
Cisco Aguilar has been publicly aligned with protecting reproductive freedom and supported Nevada’s abortion-rights ballot measure that would enshrine a constitutional right to abortion until fetal viability, with protections when needed for the pregnant person’s health or life. He has also been endorsed by reproductive-rights groups that described his victory as a win for reproductive freedom.
Public Safety & Guns
Cisco Aguilar was endorsed by Brady Campaign to Prevent Gun Violence and by Everytown for Gun Safety/Moms Demand Action, indicating alignment with gun-safety advocacy. The available public record does not show a detailed personal platform on firearms, but the endorsements point toward support for common-sense gun regulation rather than an expansive gun-rights posture.
